Put some Dash-n-Splash into your Memorial Day

BISCOE — The 2nd Annual Dash-n-Splash 8K will be held on Saturday, May 25, at the Denton-Monroe Park in Biscoe.

All proceeds from the race will benefit the local lodge of the Fraternal Order of Police.

The race will commence at 9 a.m. and run through a residential area beginning and ending at the park. There will also be a Mayor’s 1-Mile Fun Run at 8 a.m.

“We will have a special ceremony prior to the race,” said event director Tammy Owens. “The ROTC will be presenting the flags and Nathan Raming (an ROTC member) will be playing the National Anthem on his trumpet for us.”

Veterans and active military may participate in the run free of charge. They must submit either their DD-214 or Active Duty Military ID on race day.

Registration starts at 8 a.m. on race day. Cost to participate in the 8K is $25; cost for the Mayor’s Fun Run is $10. Awards will be given out after the races are complete.

Owens said that there will also be local vendors, music, cornhole and horseshoe activities at the park at 1 p.m. Registered runners also get to cool off in the park pool after the race (participants must have race bib to swim).
